SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates the boilerplate needed to add a new Drupal AI Field Widget Action plugin, so you can quickly deliver actionable AI-driven UI behavior inside entity forms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Action scaffolding with correct inheritance: Generates either an AJAX callback action (using FieldWidgetActionBase + getAjaxCallback()) or a modal form action (using FieldWidgetFormActionBase + buildModalForm() + submitModalFormFillFields()).
  • Plugin UI targeting and configuration: Establishes widget_types, field_types, category, multiple (per-delta vs whole-field), and a descriptive configuration baseline.
  • Field-filling behavior with proper commands: Uses FillSimpleFieldCommand for plain fields and FillEditorCommand for formatted (e.g., CKEditor) inputs when modal actions are used.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to scaffold an AJAX-based Field Widget Action plugin named my_module_suggest_text that targets string and text fields, uses an AI prompt configuration, and returns suggestions to fill the selected field.

Frequently Asked Questions about create-field-widget-action

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an AJAX callback to a Drupal field widget form for AI interactions?▼

You generate a modal form action plugin by extending FieldWidgetFormActionBase and implementing buildModalForm() alongside submitModalFormFillFields() to trigger interactive AI prompts within entity forms.

How do I target specific field and widget types when building a Drupal AI form action?▼

For formatted text inputs like CKEditor, modal form actions use FillEditorCommand, whereas plain fields use FillSimpleFieldCommand to properly inject AI-generated content into the entity form.

Do I need dependency injection for a custom Drupal field widget action plugin?▼

The scaffolding process establishes a descriptive configuration baseline and wires up the UI, allowing you to capture AI prompts and manage settings directly within the Drupal entity form interface.

What is the difference between per-delta and whole-field actions in Drupal AI widget plugins?▼

Field widget action scaffolding generates the required base class methods and UI wiring automatically, eliminating the need to manually write boilerplate code for interactive AI behaviors in entity forms.
